About This Property

Beyond the doors of this polished Menchaca retreat sits the kind of backyard-centered lifestyle that’s becoming nearly impossible to find this close to Austin. Set on a rare quarter-acre lot with no rear neighbors and extra breathing room beside the community trail, the home backs directly to the HOA park, pool, and playground while still feeling remarkably private. Built in 2019 by M/I Homes, the curb appeal lands instantly with Craftsman-inspired architecture, stone masonry, Hardi siding, lush irrigated landscaping, and a three-car garage. But the real magic starts out back. This backyard was designed to disappear into with a unique rock waterfall feature, decking, astroturf, Zen-inspired landscaping, glowing Gemstone lighting, and evenings that somehow feel miles outside the city. Inside, soaring ceilings, warm wood flooring, recessed lighting, and oversized windows create a bright, easy energy throughout the open-concept layout. The living room centers around a sleek corner fireplace while natural light pours in from every angle. The kitchen was heavily upgraded with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, subway tile backsplash, statement pendants, stainless appliances, built-in double ovens, convection cooktop, and an oversized island built for gathering. A dramatic wall of glass doors reveals a stunning enclosed office lined with bookshelves, equally suited for remote work, creative projects, or a second lounge space. The private primary suite overlooks the backyard retreat and includes a spa-style bath with walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and two secondary baths offer flexibility for guests, hobbies, or multigenerational living. Just minutes from Southpark Meadows, South Menchaca hotspots, Downtown Austin, and I-35, this home delivers the rare mix of style, space, privacy, and connection. Come take a tour today, settle into the backyard for a minute, and see why this one feels different from the moment you arrive.
